The project for the construction of a treatment plant for residential sewage water, industrial waste, redundant liquid sludge and drainage from the restoration of the landfill at Vati Area is being implemented within the framework of the Cooperation Programme between the Swiss government and the Republic pf Cyprus. The National Coordinating Unit for this project is the General Directorate of European Coordination and Development Programmes.

The objectives of this cooperation are: a) contribute to the reduction of financial and social inequalities between Cyprus and most of the developed countries of the enlarged European Union and b) contribute in the sustainable environmental and social development of Cyprus.

The general objective of the project is to contribute in the implementation of the Water Directive by improving the condition of water at Polemidia dam which is located close to Vati, by the end of 2015 and which at this stage, has been assessed to be in a bad condition. This is expected to be achieved upon the termination of the operation of the existing earthen tanks for the reception of sewage water in Vati area and the construction of a suitable treatment plant for residential sewage water and industrial waste.
